Unresolved value of condition cfg
in Solana Anchor deployment
When creating applications with Solana Anchor in the WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) environment, you may encounter a warning about an unexpected value of the cfg' condition. This problem can occur for various reasons and is often related to the configuration of your Solana installation.
In this article, we will look at the possible causes of this warning and provide steps to eliminate it.
What does the warning mean?
The message "unexpected value of conditioncfg:
solana" indicates that Anchor is looking for a specific value in your
Cargo.tomlor
config.tomlfile that is not there. This value is probably related to the Solana environment configuration or settings.
Why is this happening?
There are several reasons why you might encounter this warning:
- Incorrectcfg
setting
: Thecfgattribute in your code can take different values, for example
“local”or
“prod”. If the value is incorrect for your Solana installation, Anchor will throw an error.
- Missing configuration file: Some applications require a certain configuration file for Anchoring to work correctly. If this file is missing or configured incorrectly, Anchor can detect it and issue a warning.
- Incorrectly configured environments: Make sure your Solana installation is correctly configured in the WSL environment. Check if the Solana packages are installed usingcargo install solana
and make sure the configuration file is present.
How to solve the problem?
To resolve this warning, follow these steps:
1. Check thecfgvalue
Check your code for references to thecfgattribute and verify that the value used is correct. For example:
rust
use anchor_lang::prelude::*;
[program]
pub fn vote_sc(
_base_program_id: ProgramId,
_solana_keypair: Keypair,
_vote_id: VoteId,
) {
// ... voting logic ...
}
`
Make surecfgis set to
“local”or
“prod”.
2. Verify that the configuration file exists
Make sure that there is aconfig.tomlfile in the Solana installation directory (usually located in
/opt/solana/config). This file should contain all necessary settings for binding, such as network type and solan key pair.
3. Testing in different environments
Try running the application with different sets of environment variables to see if the warning persists:
- Use–local
or
–prodflag when running Anchor:
anchor run vote_sc –local
- Set Solana network type inconfig.toml
file (eg
“devnet”`)
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue and build successfully with a WSL binding.
Note: If you still have problems after using these solutions, please provide additional information about your project, including a specific error message or stack trace.
